Good morning from Ypres, pocket friends. It&#39;s a bright, clear, cold day and I&#39;m going slow. Meanwhile three of my friends are out pounding round a cycling route which is a little easier than yesterday&#39;s, which involved a number of classic cobbled climbs used in the Tour of Flanders. They&#39;re mad! (Both the climbs and the cyclists). Today may well include the Tyne Cot cemetery. I&#39;m not sure I&#39;m ready for it, but there we are. What&#39;s happening on your Sunday?

@greem so far: coffee, granola (with raspberries and blueberries), marvelling at hearing King Creosote & Jon Hopkins on the radio, chatting about NetBSD. Later, dragging a hungover 17y1d old Boy out of bed for a climbing competition in Solihull. And probably reading. I need to take a break from my marathon Laundry Files re-read for Tchaikovsky’s latest Children of Time novel. So, no cemeterys for me. Which is nice.

@greem My Sunday started slow, read a bit of SM on phone, got up, waited for bath water to fully heat up, then had an hour & 45 minute soak in said bath with a G&T & mini eggs while reading, lunch was bacon from local farm shop in a muffin (it was yum) there was a quick walk around the estate, watched a couple of vids, now for ep 14 of The Pitt, then more reading my book.
